[6.8.3] Time Machine Shares not Showing Up on Macs

  • Minor

I'm fairly new to UnRAID and attempting to setup a time machine share for backing up the various macOS systems in the house. I've followed the guide to configure a new share with all the appropriate settings. However, it's not being detected by any of the macOS machines as an available time machine share.

 

I noticed that UnRAID isn't creating an registering a service entry for the time machine share in mDNS. If I query available mDNS services on the network, I see the ssh and smb services that UnRAID is advertising but not the adisk service for time machine.

 

If I manually register the appropriate avahi configuration the share is immediately detected by all macOS clients. However, it's only temporary until the system is restarted which rebuilds the entire /etc/avahi/services directory and undoes the manual registration.

 

It appears that UnRAID is relying on the functionality of Samba to automatically register services with avahi instead of static creating them and Samba is failing to do so for some reason. Since UnRAID already creates static configuration files based on it's own configuration maybe it would be a better solution to get generate the avahi .service file for time machine shares instead of relying on Samba's auto-registration.
